We live across the street from Packard Beach. Our A/C home is on an acre of land with a large lawn. There are two kayaks on small trailers that can be pulled across the street to the sandy beach. Off season there is snowshoeing, hiking, curling, fishing, etc.

Home has 2 Mini-Splits Air conditioning/heating units, 3 queen size bedrooms: two of the bedrooms are upstairs, and the master is downstairs. Upstairs there is also a family room with small futon and flat screen TV and a large private bathroom. When needed a twin size cot with mattress can be set up in family room. Downstairs has a great room (kitchen, dinning room, and large living room) with a large flat screen TV. The master bedroom has a flat screen TV, a full bath with a jacuzzi tub. The laundry room has a half bath, a large washer and dryer. Also, our home is powered with solar panels, a pellet stove in the winter, oil heat as needed, cable, WIFI, and plenty of hot water. A large deck overlooks the yard with lake views.

It is like living at a campground, everyone says hi or waves. This is a very quiet and friendly neighborhood.

We were in the Orange area with our 2 adult children to take a family portrait and needed a place to stay. Barbara & Patti's place is a perfect, relaxing place to stay and we would definitely stay there again in this comfortable and immaculate home. They were very communicative, accommodating, and gracious.

Joanne2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Perfect location for a quiet getaway! The home is beautiful and comfortable. Barbara and Patti were extremely welcoming and accommodating, and they made sure that we had everything we needed for the perfect trip.

Jillian2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

Perfect home away from home. This beautiful home is bright, with lots of deck and view of the pond. It is a cozy retreat. Barbara and Patti were great hosts, and the communication was fantastic. They even had a pot of coffee ready to go upon our arrival.

Cindy2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Barbara was very helpful and responded to my every question and concern quickly. The house was amazing and very comfortable . Everything we needed was available and house was very clean.

Rafael2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

We have short-term, that is decided at the lake 2 hours before moving into the apartment, this 3-storey house. Barbara responded immediately to our request, sent us all necessary information. She was very helpful, we had a pleasant and informative telephone conversation. The house has 3 rooms, very spacious and well equipped. Shopping in the village before the house is off in nature. Those in search of tranquility, is the place to go.

Margot2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

The property is accurately described. It is roomy and in a very quiet setting which was great (at least in Feb). Barbara and Patti left no detail to chance with detailed description of all house workings (TV remote, pellet stov, etc). Also had coffee, juice and fruit basket. I could think of nothing they forgot. Also very responsive to text. Great hosts!

Martha2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

The house was everything as presented and more. It's well designed for a vacation type environment very spacious with plenty of relaxation space both in the living room, and the outside deck. The lake is amazing and very kid friendly for when our grandchildren stopped by on their way home from the family wedding we were attending. Important to note that the photo doesn't represent how great the location and the house really is once you arrive.

James2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

While exploring unique places to stay near Wachusett Mountain Community College, an Air BnB became available. It was our first experience and certainly not our last! We had a marvelous time in Patti and Barbara's delightful abode! It is so clean, cozy and comfy with all of the amenities of our home! Plus, there is skiing and snow boarding nearby! Next time we plan to kayak‍️ around the beautiful nearby lake, however, it was only 3*; not exactly lake activity weather! Inside it was warm and toasty with the wood pellet stove! We loved every minute of our stay in their secluded hide-away near Orange, MA. Thanks for the memories, new friends!! Warmly,️ Tish and Jack Becker Denton, TX

All linen provided, just bring your food & clothing. Check in 3PM. Check out 11 AM, unless otherwise stated. If you have guest visiting for the day, we ask they bring their own beach towels.

Quiet, friendly neighbors.

The lake house is GREAT and exactly as described---maybe even better! We slept like babies and were so relaxed as soon as we drove into the yard each day! Charlene and Mark are available if needed and are very helpful if you need information about the area. The house is very clean and has everything you need for your vacation. We appreciated the items in the fridge and left a few behind ourselves for the next visitors. We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can return next year! Five days was great, but we had a lot of work to do at my parents' home in Greenfield, so we didn't get to spend as much time at the lake as we would have liked. Next time, we will definitely spend more time just relaxing. Having a fire next to the lake every night was a great way to end the day!

Holly2016-06-19T00:00:00Z

Charlene welcomed us soon after we arrived. She was warm and friendly, and obviously committed to helping us enjoy the house and the area. We were able to borrow a couple of items we had forgotten, which was very helpful. The kitchen is well-supplied, and there are many unique and lovely touches. We particularly marveled over the basket of razors in the bathroom! The house is spacious, as is the area around it. The waterfront is gorgeous. We had the amazing experience of climbing Mt. Monadnock. I have every intention of returning.

Nancy2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at this little lake house! Charlene and Mark were very friendly and even let us borrow an extra kayak during our stay! We had no trouble with the house or finding it, and would definitely go back!

Aaron2016-05-26T00:00:00Z

Charlene's home was wonderful. It was very clean and well equipped. She was gracious and made us feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Betty2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

Went with husband and kids ages 12 and 14, for a vacation before school starts. This was just what we were looking for. A clean, comfortable place on the lake. So peaceful and beautiful. All the basics supplied, plenty of towels. We all went kayaking, and just enjoyed sitting on the deck for breakfast. There is a great supermarket nearby called Market Basket and Marshalls coming soon next door. Charlene very friendly and helpful. Drove to Boston for a day trip which was great. We were all sad to leave .

Brenda2015-08-28T00:00:00Z

The lake house was absolutely wonderful. My family had the best time here. I wished we had booked it longer. The host was immediately available with any questions or problems that we had during our stay. I would definitely come back again! Thank you!

Stacy2015-06-15T00:00:00Z

We cannot wait to go back! We got there really late on Friday night, and we had a nice welcome note waiting for us! This house has everything! Charlene and Mark really hook their renters up! Tons of maps of the area, full loaded kitchen even complete with spices, reading glasses, enough towels for an army, anything basically you name it! The grill was clean and ready to go. When their neighbor heard be we're looking for live bait he brought us over some! How awesome is that!? We spend our time fishing on the canoe, and hanging out on the dock. Then we started a fire and threw some steaks on the grill. The bed was nice and comfy, complete with a ceiling fan and an extra fan. I could go on forever! Don't think twice! Book now! P.S. Charlene is a New Orlean Saints fan so I made it a game to try to find all the Fleur de lis symbols around the house! It's like trying to find the Mickey's at Disney! Thank you Charlene and Mark!!

Kelly2015-06-29T00:00:00Z

We spent three perfect days in the Lake house and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The lake is serene and peaceful and the views are amazing. Tully lake and surrounding areas were beautiful as all the leaves were changing. Thank you Charlene, see you next summer!

Our cozy guest house is perfect for a romantic get away or quiet retreat. We invite you to leave the hustle of the city & enjoy a relaxed pace surrounded by nature. Fitzwilliam is a quaint town, like a christmas card. Year round activities abound from pristine Laurel Lake, Rhodedendron State Park & Mt Monadnock. The Cheshire Recreational Rail Trail is 42 miles long runs right behind our home to Walpole, via Troy & Keene. It is great for walking, biking or snowmobiling in the winter.

Imagine stepping back in time to a simpler, more relaxing pace. Surrounded by nature, we invite you to be our guest in our cozy guest house located on a farm established in 1820 in historic Fitzwilliam. This is a romantic place for couples to unwind and reconnect. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. You can meander along the trail on our property or hike Mount Monadnock if you'd like more of a challenge.
We escaped the hustle of city living three years ago and fell in love with this property. While you're away we want our guest house to feel like your home.
Sleeping
We know when you're away from home you want to sleep well and a really comfortable bed, is important. In fact some guests have said its the most comfortable airbnb bed they've ever slept in!
Bathing
The bathroom is adjacent to the bed and has shower, toilet and sink.
Eating
There is a kitchen area where you can prepare meals. It has storage for food, a fridge, toaster oven, electric skillet to enjoy farm fresh eggs or blueberry pancakes and Kurig coffee machine. In the warmer months, you can use the BBQ and enjoy eating al fresco in your own private area behind the guest house and warm yourself by the fire pit. There isn't a kitchen sink, but there is an enamel basin for doing dishes, (use water from bathroom sink). If you don't like to cook, we invite you to visit Chef Allan's cafe, Allan is an incredible Chef and people rave about his cuisine! It is located one mile away where you can pick up really fresh and delicious food for take out or sit in the cafe. Selections usually include Prime Roast Coffee, muffins, quiche, fresh fruit salad for breakfast. Entree selections vary daily but can range from crab cakes, grilled chicken, spicy wings, quesadillas, shepherds pie, grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes, pesto pasta, chicken salad. We don't serve everything everyday but this is a sampling of the things we offer. If you'd like something specific please let us know in advance and we will try to accommodate you. We also have cakes and cookies.
We also recommend Emma's Pub in Rindge, Pedro Fina in Marlborough.
While you may be coming to unwind, we have included a TV and DVD player if you'd like to watch a movie. Bring your favorite book and relax in the rocking chair. Internet service isn't like in the city so we invite you to enjoy a quieter pace where you leave technology behind and enjoy a retreat of peacefulness
The guest house is located just over a mile from the village center of the historic town of Fitzwilliam. we are 88 miles from Boston Logan Airport and 55 miles from Manchester.

Founded in 1764, Fitzwilliam remains almost untouched, the village common is like a Christmas card from days gone by with a steepled town hall and houses that date back to the 1850s.
The town is home to pristine Laurel Lake, a spring fed lake for summer swimming, kayaking and fishing and Rhodendron State Park is a must see especially in July when it is in full bloom. Here is a link to a video on the park. (URL HIDDEN)
Mount Mondanock is five miles away in Jaffrey - it's the most climbed mountain in the world! Or gap mountain is an easier climb about ten minutes away on the way to Troy
The recreational Cheshire railroad trail runs behind the property for hiking and cross country skiing.
For outdoor enthusiasts there are plenty of things to do from downhill skiing cross country skiing and hiking
Fitzwilliam has been dubbed the antiques mecca of the Southwestern New Hampshire as there are several antique shops in town including Bloomin 'Antiques, Old Glory Antiques, and our our store Covey House that also offers handcrafted gift items from over 25 artisans. Plumpapparel offers clothing and accessories for the fuller figure and Feather Herb Farm has an eclectic mix of old and new in luring clothing.
If you plan to pick up groceries Market basket and Hannafords are six miles away in Rindge
We are ten minute drive from Franklin Pierce university and twenty minutes from Keene State University.

This little cabin was an absolute dream and we loved every minute of our stay! Clare and Allan have made sure that every little detail was taken care of in the most comfortable way! We loved the coziness and comfort of the setting, and especially the cute gas fireplace. We stayed for a total of 3 nights and two of those nights the temperatures dipped and we never got cold! We were more than comfortable! Clare and Allan are the perfect hosts! They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of. After a few minutes of talking to them, you feel like you have been lifelong friends. This was especially welcoming to us since this was our first AirBnB stay and we weren't sure what to expect! Our only regret is that we weren't able to spend more than 3 days in Fitzwilliam. This is a beautiful little town. We loved Clare's shop (Covey House). Note to self, next time we visit we'll do more than carry on luggage so we have room to bring back some of the adorable things she sells! We never had time to eat at Chef Allan's cafe, but he was sweet enough to bring out some fruit to us one morning when we were browsing in Covey House. Overall, we absolutely loved this place and loved getting to know Clare and Allan! We can't wait until we are able to visit again!

Kayla2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Clare and Allan were so wonderful - they made sure we were all set to check in and had everything we needed. The cabin was so lovely and cozy - it seriously felt like we were in a fairy tale. The "wood burning" heater and all of the rustic touches were just perfect. Allan and Clare gave us great tips for exploring the area, and even gave us some eggs from their free range chickens! The location was quiet and so peaceful and beautiful - we will definitely come back on our next New Hampshire trip.

Samantha2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at the barn. Clare was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. It was a cozy, comfortable, and clean atmosphere!

Laura2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

We were looking for a quiet weekend "off the grid" and that's exactly what Clare and Allan's cottage provided us! We could not have asked for a more tranquil, private and peaceful location and the beautiful town was an added bonus. We are already looking forward to our next visit to New Hampshire and will be sure to pass through Fitzwilliam when we do!

Tim2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

We had an incredible stay at Allan and Clare's beautiful guest house. We were immediately struck by the cute charm and cozy, romantic feel as soon as we walked in. Great amenities and a fantastic bad/mattress. Clare's food and entertainment suggestion was spot on as we had a fantastic night at the Fitzwilliam Inn. Allan and Clare also own a beautiful store and cafe in the center of town, Chef Allan's, and they provided some delicious treats for us. We HIGHLY recommend this place! It truly was a remarkable stay with wonderful hosts.

Bennett2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

They have a particularly soft bed.

Sean2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

Loved our time there and would loved to have stayed longer. Really great little cabin in such a great location. The hosts were super friendly and gave us a great tour of the farm/property. Hopefully we will be back one day.

Marc2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Loved it!! Perfect romantic and intimate getaway from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Very quaint and rustic, just the vibe we were looking for! The Gap Mountain hike was great; thanks so much to our host Clare for being so king, and welcoming, and for being so informative/helpful with what to do in the area :)

The house is very spacious, with room for up to 12 people. There is a large living room with big fireplace, a seperate dining room and large country kitchen with soapstone sink and new oversize refrigerator. The playroom has a pingpong table and jungle gym as well as toys for younger children. There are board games and puzzles in the dining room. There are two bedrooms with queen beds, one with full bathroom and one with 1/2 bathroom. Another one with a double and a sink. There are 2 bedrooms that each have 2 single beds, 2 rooms with bunkbeds and 1 with a single bed. Additionally there is a full bathroom with tub. There is a seperate laundry room with washer and dryer. There is a screened porch as well as a large outdoor porch.

The house is in historic Fitzwilliam, located in the SW corner of New Hampshire in what is known as the "Monadnock Region" (named for the famous Mt. Monadnock and a 15 minute drive from the property). It is beautiful, rural country and a great escape from the pace of city life. Laurel Lake is one of the few spring-fed lakes in the area and has a public boat launch. Nearby towns of interest are Keene (20 minutes), Jaffrey (15 minutes) Peterborough (20 minutes) and Brattleboro, VT (30 minutes). Antique shops, art galleries and music festivals are just some of the local attractions. There is great hiking on Mt. Monadnock with views all the way to Boston from the summit.

Helen was wonderful - we communicated before my trip as well as while my family was at the house. We loved the house, the lake and the whole experience.

Gaynor2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

This was my first Airbnb experience, and Helen and Stuart were exceptionally patient and gracious with my lists of questions. The house was exactly as described, but there is no way to describe how special this home is and how grateful we felt to be able to stay there. It's been built and cared for with love over generations of this family, and the result is a living museum of life and love. It's a magical place, filled with antiques, and everything you need to feel comfortable and welcome. The area is safe and quiet and feels very private. We saw deer and a chipmunk and loons on the lake. The path from the house to the lake is like a something from a fairytale. It is lined with wild ferns and beautiful trees and dappled light and plenty of roots to plant your footing. Then you emerge to a crystal clean private dock and float for a perfectly refreshing swim. The house was very clean and the kitchen was spotless and stocked with anything you could ever want to cook with. I live in a small apartment in New York so the vastness of this house took my breath away. There were only four of us there. Our two kids are 7 & 9 years old and the playroom was a constant source of wonder for them. They never picked up their electronics all week. The playroom is stocked with with toys from all eras, all organized so that each toy is more inviting than the next to play with. The kids were in heaven. And happy kids on vacation means a much nicer experience for mom and dad. Helen was extremely sweet and lovely to us. I couldn't say enough about how much we loved our visit and how highly I would recommend her as a host.

The lakeside neighborhood is very friendly. The apartment is minutes away from the Tully Recreation Area with 2 additional lakes, hiking trails, canoe and kayak rentals, disc golf, and volleyball.

The house was lovely, and exactly as advertised. Beautiful lake, not a far drive to grocery stores and hiking. Only downside is Jean owns two properties--a house and an apartment next to one another. If someone is occupying both, they both share a dock space, so for our first day, we didn't have access to the dock because the other home had taken it over, and there isn't really another great seating alternative out by the water. Otherwise Jean was great, and it was a really nice vacation!

Morgan2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

David and Linda were attentive and gracious hosts. I had a friend's wedding nearby and I was very happy that they were able to share their beautiful home. The house is in the woods and very quiet and they were detailed in giving directions on how to get there.

Claudia2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Delightful lakefront neighborhood is very friendly and helpful.

Jean was very helpful answering all questions I had before my party's stay. She was available when we arrived to help us get settled and provided us with everything we could have needed for our stay. Her home was lovely and right on the water, perfect for a quiet weekend away.

Tara2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Jean was very patient, responsive, accommodating and helpful. Dealing with her was a pleasure. The house was very nice and clean, the location was perfect, and the lake lovely. Since its not super clear, I'll give you a sense of the layout. The upstairs has the kitchen, living room (with two couches), bathroom, deck, and one private bedroom with a queen bed. The downstairs has the loveliest private bedroom at the water level with a door that opens and you're 10 steps from the water, truly lovely. Also downstairs is a bathroom, a couch and a third bedroom that has a full bed. This third bedroom isn't quite private since the staircase connecting the upstairs and downstairs is located there and depending on how many people you have in the house people may have to through it to get through, but on non-rainy days you can walk around the outside to avoid going through it. The couple upstairs and downstairs are not the best for sleeping on but workable. And if someone is on the bottom couch they either have to go through the lakefront bedroom to get out or through the "semi-private" room to take the stairs upstairs. The cabin is as pictured with two twin beds and nice but is musty, could have been just an especially humid weekend, but a de-humidifier in there would have been very useful. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay with Jean again if she'd have us.

Zahi2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful stay. Jean was a very pleasant accomodating host. The lake was clean, restful, lovely. The accomodations were roomy and interesting. Orange has a very old New England feel. It was the right combination for our mini vacation.

Ernest2014-09-02T00:00:00Z

My two friends and relatives had a lovely time staying with Jean. We used her sweet lake house as a base camp to begin our backpacking trip on the 22 mile Tully Trail loop. You can hike this amazing trail right from Jean's door! She was very responsive before we arrived, answering all our questions, and welcomed us into her shared kitchen. I would stay with Jean again if we hike Tully next year. We didn't even swim or canoe in the lake! A great getaway.

Loren & Tracy2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Jean is very friendly and nice lady with a good sense of humor. The house is very nice and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay. The nature and lake are fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Volodymyr2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic choice! The house was gorgeous, quirky, and spacious. It's an easy, scenic drive to the house from Boston. There was plenty of space to park cars. Jean let me know in advance that the oven didn't work but we were fine with the stove top. She communicated well and was onsite to provide a tour. The house was clean and filled with personality. The dock is very relaxing. In short, we had a great time :)

Monique2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Jean was a very kind host and visited to make sure we were doing ok. But, we had a lot of miscommunication. She didn't respond my questions until a day before our arrival that made things stressful. The cleanliness of the place could be greatly improved.

Mariana2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jean for sharing and opening your home for us to use for our brief 5 night stay! Each morning I forced myself up at 7am just so I could take in the beauty of the lake waking up to the world. The home is exactly as in the pictures, but they don't do it real justice. From the front door, you walk into the main room with cathedral ceiling and a wall of windows from floor to ceiling that looks out on the serenity of the lake. The room is shared with a galley kitchen that has everything you need. Also upstairs is a full bath and a bedroom with one queen bed. Downstairs are two more bedrooms, with one queen in each. The one I stayed in was downstairs, with a door that opens right out onto the yard and lake, sunny and beautiful! There is also a half bath with a shower downstairs and another little sitting area. We rented the entire house which also included a separate cabin located up behind the main house. This cabin has two twin beds and a TV, no bathroom. Jean stayed next door in her apartment that is located over her garage. There is also canoe and a row boat for your use. Me, my husband and two sons, 20 and 18 hadn't been away for any extended time in over 10 years and this couldn't have been more perfect. We brought along our two kayaks to use along with her boats. We explored the lake, which isn't huge, but is certainly big enough. We also traveled over to Tully Lake Campground where we rented a canoe ($15 from 3-7pm on Sundays) and explored all the little islands. However, the majority of time was spent at Jean's house, relaxing, grilling and taking in all the wonderful energy her home and lake and lake has to offer! Our visit was perfectly time, as that Saturday on the lake, was the 25 annual Triathlon and it was the week of a full moon. On one particular night, we rowed out into the middle of the lake to take in the moon and see all the bonfires and fun happening around the shoreline, very magical. The weather during our vacation was the best weather of the summer, mid/high 70's no humidity. But had it rained, we would still have enjoyed hanging out at Jean's Lakefront home. Jean is such a wonderful lady and we all enjoyed getting to know her and will definitely be back again more than once!

Conveniently located in southern New Hampshire,near Mt. Monadnock & Keene. Take advantage of the extensive hiking opportunities, antique and flea markets, nearby good public tennis courts and State parks.

Our cottage has been in the family for over 100 years. We love it's simplicity, quiet, location and beauty. Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds outside the screened porch and the splash of a paddle or swimmer is about the best therapy for busy lives we know. There are cottages on either side along the lake and a couple across the lake road.

It was a perfect week. We've just returned after a two day drive from NH with sand in our car and slightly wet suits from a last dip and kayak in the lake. The cottage is right out of "ON GOLDEN POND": rustic but every amenity, WiFi and no TV, landline but no cell phone service. Books galore and an excellent well-stocked kitchen (complete with ice machine, microwave, and two outdoor grills). The place is just the spot if you want to unwind away from it all (but also near to everything the Monadnock region has to offer), don't mind an outdoor shower (we didn't), an airy sleeping porch and other cozy bedrooms, and a large dock literally out the porch door. Sunsets and sun from 11am all day on the dock/raft were enjoyed daily as were the 2 kayaks, canoe, and sailboats. The weather didn't fail us, either. Only two brief storms came through on two afternoons. Some evenings were cool and we had fires in the fireplace. The lack of TV was not missed and our teenage boys actually avoided their iPads much of the time (preferring the lake as much as possible). They even went fishing, caught, and ate their catch with two of their old school buddies from when we lived here. We loved the cottage in the pines and the shallow swimming up to the raft (where it deepens) and the house would be ideal for a respectful family or couple(s). Our family included five, with guests in and out all week, and I still felt I always had a bit of privacy if I wanted a rest, nap, or read in the afternoon. We felt welcome and grateful to be able to enjoy a historic place in the same family since 1899. You can't "buy" that any where -- we just enjoyed and relaxed and truly reconnected with the New Hampshire summers that we love and miss. This family cottage exceeded every expectation that I had, and more, and I would happily stay there again if allowed. Thank you for a memorable experience and the perfect New Hampshire vacation!

Catherine2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Brad and his wife met us at the cabin even though we ended up about 2 hours after we had originally hope to get there. He was easy to get hold of before and during our stay. He welcomed us warmly, immediately gave us a tour and showed us how things worked, and left us to relax. This cabin isn't for everyone and it is exactly as advertised -- it was perfect for us. We appreciated the bare studs, camp style furnishings, outside shower, access to kayaks, rowboat, canoe that gave us the true cabin on a lake in NH experience -- one that brought back fond memories from my childhood. We also appreciated the well stocked kitchen (glassware, cooking utensils, spices, etc). The setting can't be beat -- we heard the loons on three separate mornings - that was a real treat. The neighbors we met were all friendly. Wish we had stayed longer.

1790's Antique Home, built during the second tenure of George Washington's Presidency, this unique farm house -- restored to its original condition, with floors, ceilings, and plaster intact -- is an experience of returning to the old colonial era. One hour and fifteen minutes NW of Boston, the house sits on a lovely half acre of flower gardens and bio-organic farm gardens. Food is fresh, organic, and delicious. Parks, hiking, lakes, and downhill skiing nearby. Dogs encouraged; smoking allowed.

Joanna and Ottar were great, very responsive and friendly. Ottar met us at the location and gave us an information walk through of the property. Joanna gave us tips about the neighborhood to visit. Their hospitality was Great. This antique house was wonderful, clean and comfortable. Over all it was a Great experience. We will refer this house to our friends.

Kadirvel2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Joanna was an excellent host. Very accommodating with our check in time. The place was very cozy with beautiful art work decorating the walls. Highly recommended!

Hector2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

A lovely home, with lovely owners and wonderful conversation. We had a great time and it felt just like home.

Brian2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Joanna was extremely hospitable and warm and the place was lovely. Was exactly what we needed for an overnight stay and she and Ottar were kind enough to have some snacks waiting for us upon arrival as well as a breakfast in the morning! Was great to also chat with them and get some tips on some nice walks around the area. All in all, if we happen to be traveling through the area, would definitely try and stay again! Thanks J+O and the 3 dogs!

Chloe Bartholomew2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Our stay was great! Joanna was very communicative, welcoming, and provided a great continental breakfast each morning. The accommodations were historic and cozy. We would gladly stay here again!

Phil2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Host very welcoming and pleasant.. Stair's to bedrooms where as to be expected in a historical house, could be a challenge to some.

Fran2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Joanna is a genuine and gracious host. If you do nothing other than stay in her beautifully restored home you would be melting away everyday stress. I highly recommend it.

Fouad2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Joanna was great! We showed up in the middle of a torrential downpour after 10 hours of driving and she got us in and made sure everything was in order. In the morning, there was continental breakfast, which was nice. We were only there long enough to shower/sleep, so I can not comment on the neighborhood or surrounding area.

This loft apartment in the center of charming Warwick is 800 square feet with lots of natural light. A large bedroom with a double bed and a twin futon. Take a bath looking at the stars in the original claw foot tub. The open living space has two skylights and one large window with a gorgeous fireplace for winter guests. The kitchen window overlooks a field which often has herds of sheep from a nearby farm. Well stocked with basic appliances and small wares.

This is a big loft, recently refurbished, clean and characterful. The big bath is a real plus and the Internet good which pleased my teenage son. Gail sets a friendly but quiet tone which makes this stay very relaxed. Warwick is a very attractive historic village with few amenities so bring your own food. Lots of nice walking trails and rough tracks marked as roads on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps which had my son whooping with glee as we bounced along in our rental.

Meg2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for a little privacy in the mountains, this is the place. It's clean and quiet. Great for a couple or a writer looking for solitude. The host is friendly, open and committed to making sure her guests are comfortable. Bonus: I'm told because she is a chef, she makes wood-fired pizza on Thursdays.

Lisa2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, yet very rural little area. The loft was spacious and well-maintained. There was wi-fi which was very important because the surrounding town has no cell service. Keep in mind, however, it has a tub but no showerhead and it didn't have a bathroom mirror either. Also, it can get quite cold at night, but extra comforters were provided. I still highly recommend staying here!

Enjoy conservation forest at the base of Little Monadnock Mountain in historic Fitzwilliam at a private residence built in 1810 in our private guest room with private bath. Come back in time with us!

Nestled amid conservation forest at the base of Little Monadnock Mountain in historic Fitzwilliam, our home was built in 1810. We are located at the base of one of the most beautiful trails in New Hampshire. There are activities here for every season: boating, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, hunting, sledding, skiing and just relaxing! We are a great place to connect with the beauty and fierce independence of New England's outdoors while remaining a convenient 20 minute drive from Keene.
We are available for your needs year round and gourmet breakfast is always served to our guests. Other meals can be provided for an additional cost. Just let us know before your arrival if you follow a special diet... we can accommodate most anyone.
The guest room has a queen size bed and VHS/TV setup and also has a private 3/4 bath. It is furnished with hot water, tea and honey as well as board/card games, movies to watch and books to read. The main floor has a living room and dining room accessible to our guests. You are more than welcome to use the wet bar and play on the piano or organ in the living room.
Please note: we have chickens and cats.
We provide transportation to guests who are arriving within an hour's drive for an extra fee.
We are located a short drive to the local ski lifts, 3 miles from the Massachusetts border, 18 miles from artsy Brattleboro and 13 miles from the quaint college town of Keene. Antique stores are abundant, live entertainment and delicious meals are just a walk away at the Fitzwilliam Inn.
We take our cue from you! We have worked in hospitality for a long time. We will be completely unseen if you prefer to have a quiet time alone, or we will sit down and play a game of cards with you.
Contact us ahead of time if you are coming in the winter so we can advise you of the road conditions.
If you like picking wild edibles, come during the summer or fall. There are fruit and herbs a-plenty nearby!
Various complimentary toiletries are provided. Fresh towels and sheets are provided for each guest and coffee, hot chocolate and breakfast are provided each morning at no additional charge.

We live within walking distance of all that Fitzwilliam has to offer! The historic Fitzwilliam Inn offers live entertainment, drinks and meals. There are antique stores and a history museum if you are interested. But most of our guests prefer to meet the neighbors on four feet who live in the conservation that surrounds the town.

The neighborhood was very quaint and peaceful and my host was very friendly. She made sure we had everything we needed and then left us to ourselves, although she was nearby in case we needed anything. The house itself was beautiful, clean, and rustic. There were games and movies available to help keep us entertained, as well!

Will2015-07-18T00:00:00Z

Katie's roommate was there to greet us despite our late arrival and was very welcoming. We were able to ease into our room quickly and got a great night of sleep. In the morning, Matt (the roommate) made us breakfast and it was fantastic. He was even able to accommodate a gluten free diet. Then we took some time to explore the huge property they have and even got to experience some local New Hampshire lifestyle. Matt was an excellent host and the entire stay was amazing! Places like this are why I enjoy AirBnB. From the hospitality to the enlightening conversations, I would absolutely recommend staying with Katie and Matt. I would also suggest going out of your way to stay there.

Sean2014-07-20T00:00:00Z

We stayed two nights, but booked them separately, so my review is on the other listing.

Laura and Ed2015-10-02T00:00:00Z

Katie communicated promptly and clearly with me each step of the way. Though I didn't meet her, I did meet her husband who was very nice. He made us a very nice breakfast of omelettes, bacon and toast. He set a nice table too! It was all very inviting. The rooms were clean and welcoming. I'd definitely try to stay here again when I'm in the area.

Joanne2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Fitzwilliam is a lovely, historic New Hampshire village, and Katie's home fits right in. It's a spectacular antique and we felt privileged to stay in it. Our bed was comfortable and the home was pretty clean. The breakfast each morning was delicious and abundant as mentioned by other reviewers. We did feel that our visit came at a very awkward time for our hosts, and that we were not particularly welcome.

Laura and Ed2015-10-01T00:00:00Z

Great! Awesome breakfast and friendly people.

Kathleen2014-11-23T00:00:00Z

This place is seriously a secret oasis, tucked deep within a deciduous fairytale-like forest. The residents of the home Matt and Katie, are the kindest people who offered great historical context surrounding the property and neighborhood. The two teenagers are very cute kids and enjoyable to be around. The property itself is situated on a hill that overlooks an impressive view. Chickens and ducks free roam and provide eggs for Matt's awesome, restaurant-style gourmet breakfast, that may include some homemade blueberry jam from a local farm. All and all, my boyfriend and I had the most wonderful time. The house is relatively close to New England attractions; we visited Salem. If you're looking for relaxation on quiet farm, this is your place.

Sarah2014-10-29T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Katie's place. Katie was incredibly responsive to our last minute booking requests. Breakfast the next morning was delicious! She also introduced us to a less-travelled hiking path up Mount Monadnock, which we absolutely loved. Thank you Katie.

My place is close to Keene, NH, Fitzwilliam Inn, Mount Monadnock, Rhododendron State Park. You’ll love my place because of The calm surroundings, shade and sunshine ease of access to everything in the Monadnock Region. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). Just to be clear the beach is across the road, (which is about 10' wide) and slightly to the left of my house.

Inside the cottage is basically a one bedroom cottage with a large Sunroom and common Living Room/Kitchen/Dinning/Great Room. There are full sized pull out sofas' in the Sunroom and Living Room. The Sunroom offers as much privacy as a Bedroom; the Living Room does not. There's a deck that wraps around the house and a patio in the backyard. There is also an out door shower off the patio so you can shower off after coming up from the beech and a large fireplace with patio in the side yard.

Fitzwilliam New Hampshire is the quintessential New England town and was featured as such many years ago on the Today Show! The Fitzwilliam Inn is a short drive, (@ 3 minutes), down the road and has an excellent Dinning Room and Bar. Mount Monadnock is about 15 minutes away and is the second most hiked mountain in the world I am told. Keene, New Hampshire is about a 15-20 minute drive north on NH Route 12 and offers a full set of conveniences for shopping, dinning and entertainment.

This is a beautiful area. The night sky is excellent! Host has an extensive collection of records that we enjoyed playing

Stella2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

This cottage is very lovely and cozy. The owner is very responsive to communication. Quick and easy walk to the pond from the house. Wonderful location to be able to disconnect from the working world for a few days.

Nicole2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

Awesome place! Would definitely come again.

Come relax in our private and cozy one room cabin tucked in the woods on the family homestead. Being artists, our cabin is also a gallery. A peaceful location for connecting with nature, writing, hiking. Great swimming and boating are 2 miles away. It's a 12'x16' cabin, with a comfortable queen size bed, electricity, mini refrigerator and electric kettle. Water is provided. Equipped with a clean outhouse and a new outdoor hot shower on side of main house. Excellent spot for star gazing.

Our home and cabin is surrounded by hundreds of acres of Warwick State Forest. You may be serenaded by coyotes howling in the night and owls calling to one another. With cooler weather, we provide an electric heater and extra down blanket. For the warmer weather, we provide a fan. There are screens in the windows for good air circulation.

Our rural neighborhood is very safe and quiet. We only have one neighbor who's house we can see down the road and they have horses in their field.
Warwick is a small New England town with 700 people. We have a town common, and a town hall that has regularly scheduled live music. There is a cafe on the common to get coffee, pastries, fresh bread, breakfast and dinner, called the Barn Owl. Warwick is the home of Mt. Grace, which has nice hiking trails to the top and a viewing tower.

Thinking about my time in Kerry's cabin in the woods brings a smile to my face. I did not feel like I was staying in someone else's space, but rather that I was nestling into a room of my own, curated with love and care by a talented and fun-loving artist. Every detail, from the freshly baked cookie to the interesting array of artwork and books was a delight to discover. The cabin itself is beautifully constructed, cozy but open, with huge windows that let in spectacular sun and a serene view of the great outdoors. Many thanks Kerry for making possible a wonderful retreat. I'll remember my two days at the cabin in the woods as a time of true relaxation.

Effie2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

It is the details that makes an airbnb stay a perfect place. It is a pity that I can't upload pictures onto airbnb review page, or I can show with these nice memory fragments instead of my poor language. Kerry and her family are warm and nice. This is an artist family, so delicate adornments around the cabin were adorable, including wind bells, shells under the eaves, and the bamboo painting in the room. This is a romantic place for couples. The main purpose of our trip was stargazing. A big lawn is just outside the cabin, on which we laid and enjoyed the star view. We caught a huge shooting star which is the biggest one we have ever seen. In a word, this is a wonderful place to stay away from city and we really enjoyed the stay.

Junchuan2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Kerry was a fantastic host and The Pine Cabin was just perfect for our little weekend get-a-way. The cabin is just secluded enough to feel private and to be very very quiet, but also close enough to Kerry's family's house to also feel connected, should we have needed anything (which we didn't). The view through the pine trees and over the open field is breathtaking in the morning light, and for being so small, we never once felt cramped. We felt just the right balance of taken care or and on our own. Thank you, Kerry.

Heidi2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Staying in the cabin was an amazing experience! Kerry and Gregg were great hosts and their cabin is just lovely. We can't wait to return!

Olivia2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

The cabin was neat, whimsical and warm for this time of year. The property is beautiful and there are wonderful trails nearby. I highly recommend this cabin as it was everything as described and more. Kerry made us feel welcome and part of the family. Thank you Kerry!

Anna2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

This was our second time in Kerry and Gregg's cabin and it exceeded our expectations once again. We are going to miss it over the winter but look forward to coming back next Spring or Summer. We also had more time to explore Western Mass this time around and are very excited about the area. This place belongs in some design travel magazine. Muah!

Meredith2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

The pine cabin is absolutely beautiful! We had a great stay here- very comfortable and cozy! Exactly what we needed!!! Kerry is a wonderful host who made our stay great... And she and her family really are such talented artists, their artwork and little details make this a one of a kind stay!

Direct Lakefront on a private acre and a half of berry bushes. 8 miles to Mt Monadnock, the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world after Mt Fuji in Japan! 30 mile long Rails to Trails is just across the lake. Only 25 homes on Rockwood Pond and only 5 are occupied year round. We have 3 kayaks, a big canoe and a paddleboat with all the paddles and lifejackets. For the winter time, we have lots of XC skis, boots, poles, ice skates, hockey sticks, firewood, etc etc.

I booked this home for an annual retreat with my closest college friends. It was our first winter trip together, so we were looking for a place that offered us convenient amenities. The spacious home was warm and right by a frozen lake, allowing us to ice skate after some shoveling. Throughout the entire booking process, Paul answered my (many) questions and also made suggestions for how to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen was stocked, and the only challenge was the stove; each burner seemed to work at a different heat level, which took some creative cooking. Overall, we look forward to staying here again!

Tariana2015-02-08T00:00:00Z

The home itself was lovely and full of character. My family had a great time on the lake with plenty of fishing, swimming, and canoe rides.

Ashley2015-07-05T00:00:00Z

Paul's house was a joy to stay in for our small group of four boys (11-13) and a tired mom looking for local fun over spring break. It had everything a boy could love -- boats, fishing gear, a fire pit and lots of room to run and enjoy the outdoors. They kept off their electronics for almost three full days, no small feat -- and left me alone read a good book, take the dogs on long walks and enjoy the fresh air. The house was clean and well-furnished, but not so fancy that I had to worry about boys being boys. They are already saying "can we come back here next year?" High praise indeed!

Brenda2016-04-22T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a family friendly house that is in a quiet and beautiful spot but close drive to activities, this is the place! Paul is wonderful, quick to respond, and incredibly helpful and thoughtful as a host. The house had everything we needed for multiple couples and a baby. Beautiful view of the pond, game room, hot tub, nice open living space for talking, fires and games. We can't wait to book this place again soon!!!

Malory 2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Paul was a welcoming host, and he made the entire process very easy. We loved our stay at Rantilla!

Andy2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

Just returns from Fitzwilliam... It was a great experience and everything we expected. Paul's detailed directions got us there no problem (GPS worked perfectly). There were 9 of us and everyone had their own bed and some were even empty. Plenty of blankets, pillows, etc. Kitchen was well stocked and we did appreciate that we didn't have to buy the condiments and items such as coffee filters, etc. The place is huge, very cozy and as described on the airbnb site. Kids went fishing (caught 2 fish), canoeing and kayaking. We had a bond fire, BBQ, etc. WiFi worked very well. The place is just amazing.

Jennie2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

This home is a beautiful place with a beautiful location! Adults and children alike will not want for anything. Small children will need supervision outside. Looking at the house from the front, it looks smallish..., but once you enter, the space opens up...including the first floor, loft upstairs, and large "basement" renovated into a large rec. room (1-pool, & 1-ping pong table), plus sleeping accommodations and a full bathroom. There are two rooms with doors; the rest of the areas are pretty open, so privacy and quiet may not be there for some. Paul and Anne were very friendly and responsive to any questions that arose. They have been doing this for a while, and have every thing available and details taken care of. It was too cool to go into the lake, but the hot tub was fun! It was a very relaxing time for everyone in our group. Many made comments, that they would love to rent it themselves at some time... You will not be disappointed!

Brenda2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

This house was incredible, and the hosts were awesome. I came with a group of 10 for an anniversary party in late April 2016. Though the pond was a little too cold for swimming at that time, we got a lot of use out of the hot tub and took a couple of the boats out for a little trip around the pond. Beautiful secluded area, tons of space in the house for people to eat, sleep, and relax. Hosts let us stay late on checkout day since no one else was coming in after us. Thanks so much for making us feel welcome!

A good place for four people traveling together, or a family of four. One room has a double bed, the other, twin beds. I live next door and come over to cook a full country breakfast each morning. You can eat on the screen porch or in the kitchen.

Staying at this beautiful bed and breakfast in the quaint New England town of Orange was a wonderful experience. Rose Marie went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home, and she cooks a delicious breakfast! Will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in the area.

Rose Marie was a dream to work with. She communicated well and often and she met us right as we drove up even though we arrived at 10 pm. Rose Marie was very friendly and fun and we enjoyed chatting with her and learning more about the area as Rose Marie is a life-long native of the Orange, MA vicintiy. We loved this charming, adorable bed and breakfast! The eclectic decor and yard art said, "quintessential New England" to us. Quiet neighborhood on a dead end street. Rose Marie's breakfast was so tasty--we loved her homemade jam and mulled cider! We would love to stay at Rose's Bed and Breakfast if we are ever near Orange, MA again.

My family loved staying here with Rose and they had a great time! It was a very lovely room with cute settings! Definitely choose to stay with her if you can.

This was our first airbnb, and it was wonderful! It is a full bed and breakfast. The house was very, very clean, charming, and spacious. We were greeted with a note on the door, and Rose Marie came by to cook us a lovely breakfast in the morning. We ate on the screened back porch, and the setting was like being in the woods. We highly recommend this home away from home!

Rosie runs a charming, welcoming bed and breakfast. She has created a little country oasis, complete with a fairy cottage and a hammock in the back yard. She was a delightful host -- she cooked a nice breakfast and even made a second breakfast to go for my sleepy teenage son. We would come back again.

Rose Marie was a wonderful host! She made sure we had everything we needed and was also charming conversationalist. The Rose Cottage itself was amazing. It's cozy, well kept, and very beautiful. I would stay over again!

This historic house is a comfortable place to hang out with the whole extended family. It has a study, a library, a big combined family room/dining room/kitchen, full bathroom, and screened porch on the first floor. Two full bathrooms and four big bedrooms with full or queen beds and one smaller bedroom with a twin bed on the second floor.

Warwick is the town that time forgot. Miles of trails to hike and ski just outside the door. Quiet shady hilly roads attract bicyclists. You can walk from our house up Mt. Grace, the highest mountain east of the Connecticut River in Mass. Working farms, a wonderful town library and cultural programs in the Town Hall many weekends. Yet only 40 minutes from Amherst, Northampton, Keene, and Brattleboro. Under 2 hours from Boston
